Property Value

true if postbacks from immediate child controls of the UpdatePanel control update the panel's content; otherwise, false. The default is true.

Remarks

Set the ChildrenAsTriggers property to true if you want postbacks from immediate child controls of the UpdatePanel control to cause an update of the panel's content. Child controls of nested UpdatePanel controls will not cause an update of the parent UpdatePanel control's content unless you call the Update method explicitly or you define the child controls as triggers.

A scenario where you might set ChildrenAsTriggers to false is when you have two UpdatePanel controls and you want a postback from the first panel to update the content of the second panel but not update its own content. For example, the first panel might be a list of products to buy and the second panel might be a shopping cart.
